Republicans picked best bet in Willkie but "Willkie is the best drawing card that the republicans could have chosen as candidate for president," said Prof. A. C. Cole of Duke uni versity, altho he would not have favored him personally. With Mc Nary as a man from the far west with an interest in agriculture, Cole believes him a good running mate. Chances that Roosevelt will run again are excellent, he con tended. True to the form of political sci ence professors, Professor Cole, prefers to talk about his favorite subject, political se'ence. Youthful in appearance, Cole displays an unmistakable Southern accent as he talks about the political situa tion. No solid south. Cole is not the typical southerner In that ho is not an absolute dem ocrat. Cole broad-mindedly feels that there should be a two party system in the south as well as any place else. He has voted for re publican and socialist tickets also. He admitted that he has supported a republican for governor whom he felt less suited for the office than the democratic candidate simply to help the republican or ganization.

Orfield of the University of Nebraska law col lege, has received wide national discussion. The book is the subject of an article in the Texas Law Re view for April by Dean C. S. Potts of the Southern Methodist univer sity law school. It was the sub ject of an address by Justice B. B. Barefoot of the Oklahoma crim inal court of appeals appearing in the Oklahoma Bar Journal for January. Used as authority.

It is the opening book of a series to be known as the Judicial Admin istration Series. An introduction was written by Dean Roscoe Pound of Harvard university. FDR may run system rather tahn between poll cies," he states. Somewhat shy about his own personal history, Cole says that he received his A. B. from Texas, be ing a native of the Star state. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard. For two years Cole was an instruc tor at Harvard. He has been an in structor at Louisiana State for five years and has spent his last five years at Duke.

An annual affair, the steak fry is a large picnic FLOSSIE ...but Flossie isn't contented any more. . . planned for the greater health and happiness of the male student. Ticket salesmen, D. O. Larson, Mason Bridges, Donald Varcoe, and Clair Sloan, go-getters by an cestry, are competing in a race to sell the most tickets with prizes as stakes, instead of steaks.

Piatt, as sistant director of university ex tension, do not lasso all comers, tickets will also be on sale at the Union office and all day Monday and Tuesda), July 8 and 9, at teachers college.

They will broil the steaks over a large open grill at the park and hand them over to the participa tors without benefit of forks and Heath asks strict choice Teaching profession not selective enough' The teaching profession is not selective enough in its member ship, Miss Kathryn Heath, execu tive secretary of the National As sociation of Deans of Women, Washington, D. C, told the clos ing meeting of the summer ses sion's institute on professional teachers' relations last Thursday A careful selective system such as other professions have adopted is badly needed to raise teaching standards and to cut down the sup ply to the demand, she stated. Discussing "The Professional Relationships of Teachers," Miss Heath described them as three fold: teacher-student, teacher- society, and teacher-profession. Desire to teach, interest in people, love of learning, and service held above personal gain are important qualities which should be demand ei in prospective teachers, she be lieves. Take society... Since teachers are employees of the public, unlike in most profes sions, they have a greater re sponsibility to take society into their confidence and their own program of work, Miss Heath stated. She mentioned the PTA as one of the best agencies for this, saying that to gain the pub lic's interest teachers should ask for its help in their work. She stressed the importance of voting and taking an interest in commun ity life for teachers, but added, "Start with the community as you find it and work from there." Organization is what counts In life today. Miss Heath counseled her audience, and teachers need to be banded together in profes sional organizations if they hope to attain their desires in the way or pay, tenure, hours, and other matters, i jf tffi0 onriaeiaTtaoes ormerly knives to be eaten au naturel.

June Alumnus tells of Round Up, start to finish Report of the 1940 alumni Round Up is the feature article of the Nebraska Alumnus, June edi tion. The bright green cover pic tures the old bell which hung above U hall and which this year stood in the Union lobby to call the alumni to their annual meet ing. Reports of the secretary, the auditor and the president of the as sociation fill the magazine. "Membership," says Secretary Ellsworth F. DuTeau. "is the bond between alumnus and the university, between university and alumnus. The membership of the University of Nebraska family can and should be much larger." Answer to call. "The future of the (alumni) program will depend largely, therefore, on the response of our fellow alumni to the call of the university and the association, and upon how comprehensively the call can be made," reports the asso ciation president.

Other special departments of the magazine are the Faculty Notebook, College of Agriculture, Notes on the M. D.'s and Alumni Paragraphs. FloSSfd Hitler's harm is . . . Social, cultural debasement, not economic loss, says Bjork "The social and cultural debase ment of Europe rather than any economic loss is the greatest harm of Hitler," stated visiting History Professor Kenneth Bjork of St. Olaf's College, Northfield, Minn., yesterday. Bjork, who studied in Germany during 1933-1934 says that the Germans are highly emo tional, Idealistic, but balance lack political experience making the rise of Hitler possible. Bjork's chief interest lies in the Scandinavian countries. Editor of the Norwegian American Histor ical Association, he has been mak ing a study of Scandinavian immi gration both from the American and European point of view. Bjork will spend his next year in re search on the professional middle class group in the Scandinavian countries, a field heretofore unex plored. Scandinavia now. Scandinavian commerce has for merly been world-wide, but in the event that Germany wins, their trade will take a Continental or der believes Bjork. Since the Eng lish have left Narvik, little is known about the fate of the coun tries.

HERBERT YENNE . . . resigns post. . . university faculty effective Sep tember 1. Yenne's letter of resig nation stated his reason for the resignation as desiring to continue graduate study.

Yenne has been an assistant pro fessor since 1927, has been on the Nebraska faculty since 1921. Hunter has been a staff member since 1938, and Gaeth, a 1949 graduate, replaces Robert John ston. Laase comes from Hastings col lege, where he is professor of speech and director of the speech clinic. He received his master's degree from Northwestern univer sity and his Ph. D. from Iowa. He has also had graduate training at Yale, Michigan and Wisconsin uni , versities. tremely short communications have been received by Bjork and his friends. Norway and Sweden are probably setting up a govern ment similar to the dictatorship type, the leaders of these countries not favoring such a government but feeling that it may help the country as long as it is under Nazi power. As far as Nazi influence was concerned before the war, there was no progress made by this group. There is not a single Nazi or Communist member in the par liament or the biggest city of Oslo. Choir not pigskin. Bjork says that St. Olaf college is somewhat different from other American colleges io one respect. The men come to St. Olaf's to make the choir rather than the football team. The noted choir di rector, Christiansen, conducts the choir at the college, chiefly known for its music. Bjork was gradu ated from St. Olaf's in 1930, and declares that it is mere coincidence that he is teaching there now. He first taught at the University of Montana. Ho has acted as visiting professor at North Dakota for two years and at Nebraska for two. TT 0
